Look, if two of your henchmen go to pick up a suitcase for you from a few guys they may need to kill and on their way back manage to blow the brains of their informant in their back seat… don’t call me. That’s the movies.
Why use a fixer?
Sometimes you have a problem that needs solving. A board member that needs to quit, a co-founder that’s just vesting and providing negative value, an abusive exec that needs to be fired and always talks over you, a tough decision that needs to be pushed through, a tricky due diligence with too many uncomfortable R&Rs. Sometimes you just don’t have anyone in your corner because your board members are checked out and your co-founders aren’t on the level. Who do you call?
You don’t call your coach because she’ll teach you how to solve these things yourself. You need someone to come in and solve your problem on their own.
You don’t hire an exec because that will take 6 months and they’ll need to hire a team, and negotiate compensation, and worry about their reputation.
Who do you call? You call a fixer.
What does a fixer do?
I will listen to your problem (under NDA). If I think I can solve it, we’ll discuss compensation. I will come in, solve that problem, and that will be the end of it. If I can’t solve it, I’ll suggest someone who will. No consulting, no BS, no prolonged engagements, no publicity.
Just a solution.
